Lisa Aziz-Zadeh Featured on Seedmagazine.com

Research by ICSI Alum Lisa Aziz-Zadeh (now at University of Southern California) on mirror neurons was featured in a September 21, 2006 article on seedmagazine.com. Aziz-Zadeh uses fMRI technology to observe brain activity in subjects when they observe an action and when they read words describing that action - and her results show that the activity in the brain's premotor cortex is the same for both. Aziz-Zadeh was a postdoctoral researcher with ICSI's NTL project in 2005. Her fMRI work continues to provide physical evidence in support of NTL's hypothesis that mirror neurons play an important role in language. Read about the mirror neuron study on seedmagazine.com.
